Communication & Social Media
How do I communicate with you?
To book an initial phone consultation, you’ll use my submission portal to reach out so we can find a time to talk. It's that simple!
After we begin working together, you can text me or send me a message via my client portal to discuss scheduling, but will not discuss any clinical or personal information so as to safeguard confidentiality. I will get back to you within a business day.
What about social media?
In order to protect your confidentiality (e.g. private health information, including that you are in therapy with me), I will not accept any friend requests, respond to any messages, or reply to any posts from you.
What if I have an emergency?
In case of an emergency call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room. Leave me a voicemail if you cannot reach me letting me know you will be going to the emergency room.
How do we handle it if we bump into each other?
If I bump into you on the street, I'll say hi! Then I'll go about my day. I don't stop to talk because I don't want to break your confidentiality. If someone--a friend, a partner, a family member--asks you "Who was that ruggedly handsome albeit vertically challenged fellow?", it's your call. You can say it's just someone you know, you can ignore the question, or you can tell them I'm your therapist. Up to you. My responsibility is to protect your confidentiality. You might have feelings about that. Let's talk about it!
